DEC 24 Beyond the Walls Late Edition 2022
Experience the Christmas story as told in scripture and carols, read by members of our global community and sung by the Beyond the Walls Choir. We will travel around the world to the homes of community members who shared pictures of their Christmas decorations. Beyond the Walls – Christmas Eve. We hope to share this sacred moment with you on Saturday, December 24, at 6:00 PM. We will reconnect at midnight EST for our Late Edition. On Christmas day, we invite you to sing together the Christmas hymns that the Beyond the Walls Choir has presented over the last 3 years. Join us at noon EST (the usual hour of our Sunday service.)
